Recent Advances in Maya Archaeology

Joyce Marcus1

This paper focuses on the discoveries of the last decade in Maya archaeology, and assesses their impact on previous models and synthetic frameworks. Although the bibliography includes 700 items published during the last 10 years, it is not exhaustive; on the contrary, a frustratingly large number of discoveries had to be omitted. Two areas exploding with new research are (1) the elicitation of a greater variety of data from hieroglyphic texts, and (2) a series of chemical and biological breakthroughs in the analysis of human burials. The former make it easier to assess the role of elite actors or “agents” in processes of sociopolitical change. The latter hold out the hope of documenting warfare (through skeletal trauma), migration (by tracing tooth enamel isotopes to ground water), status or gender differences in diet (through bone chemistry), and biological connections of individuals to each other and to earlier populations (through DNA). By combining these new data, we are on our way to integrating humanism and science, and to treating Maya polities as case studies in primary or secondary state formation. KEY WORDS: Maya; sociopolitical evolution; state formation and collapse; warfare; drought; trauma; diet.

INTRODUCTION

For a previous overview I chose the title Where is Lowland Maya Archaeology Headed? (Marcus, 1995a). It seemed a reasonable question, because at that moment it was unclear whether Maya archaeology would go scientific or humanistic. So strong was the tug of war between these approaches in anthropology that at least one department, that of Stanford, actually split into two programs. We now know the answer to my question: during the last decade, Mayanists headed off in three directions. Some redoubled their interest in traditional an- thropological topics such as the nature of political economies, the emergence of

sociopolitical hierarchies, the identification of primary and secondary state forma- tion, the everyday life of commoners, and the evolutionary impact of warfare. Oth- ers chose hard-science questions of wetland management, tropical deforestation, climate change, the DNA profiles of long-dead Maya, and the use of isotopic anal- yses to reconstruct both ancient diet and region of origin. Still a third group found the trendy themes of the 1980s postmodernist anthropology irresistible, seeking to make a contribution to agency, practice theory, performance, resistance, gender, and power. Fortunately, these divergent approaches did not split Maya archaeology into separate programs. Indeed, many scholars continue to integrate scientific and humanistic data (Bell et al., 2003; Brady and Ashmore, 1999; Braswell, 2003; Dunning et al., 1999; Fash, 1994, 2001; Fash and Andrews, in press; Fash and Sharer, 1991; Hammond, 1991, 1999; Sabloff, 1990, 2003; Scarborough, 1998; Sharer, 1994, 1996; Sheets, 1992, 2002). This integration of science and human- ism has deep roots in Mesoamerican research. One could point to many holistic attempts to combine archaeology, cultural geography, epigraphy, ethnography, eth- nohistory, ethnoscience, geoscience, iconography, and/or linguistics (Atran, 1999; Atran et al., 1999, 2002; Atran and Ukan Ek’, 1999; Berlin et al., 1974; Berlin and Berlin, 1996, 1998; Bricker and Vail, 1997; Feinman, 1997; Hunn, 1977; Kepecs, 1997a,b; Marcus, 1982; Marcus and Flannery, 1996; Puleston, 1977; Reichel- Dolmatoff, 1976; Vogt, 1964, 1994; Willey, 1980; Williams, 1980, 1981). As for some of the newest approaches to Maya archaeology, the critical question is whether or not the archaeological record really provides enough data to apply them. While examples of resistance, power, and gender relations can certainly be gleaned from historical texts, it is not clear that they can be de- duced from the average archaeological site without injecting a great deal of imagination. The situation is somewhat different when it comes to hard-science approaches involving bone apatite, tooth enamel, collagen, and isotopic analysis. Here there are very impressive physical and chemical data provided by specialists. The question is whether an archaeologist, usually untrained in those disciplines, can fully assess what the range of results mean, or can truly collect a representative sample of individuals for each time period. Regardless of the potential problems, however, an exciting new line of evidence is emerging. Many of the biochemical approaches complement the studies of the plant and animal remains; they are showing us differences in diet between men and women, and between elite and commoners (Ambrose and Katzenberg, 2000; Gerry, 1993; Gerry and Chesson, 2000; Lentz, 1991; Powis et al., 1999; White, 1999; White et al., 2001; Whittington and Reed, 1997a,b). Many of the same human skeletons sampled for trace elements are also revealing unexpected evidence of trauma and violence, making clearer the nature and frequency of warfare in Maya society (Buikstra et al., 2003; Massey and Steele, 1997, pp. 76–77; Saul and Saul, 1991, pp. 148–152; 1997, pp. 43–44).

Recent Advances in Maya Archaeology 73

Armed with new lines of evidence and alternative theoretical approaches, many Mayanists have increased the sophistication of their research on more tra- ditional topics: the origins of agriculture, the rise and collapse of states, the emer- gence and nature of social stratification. The resulting improvement of our models ensures that the Maya will figure prominently in any list of socioevolutionary case studies. Mayanists now seem more interested than ever before in causation, both proximate and ultimate. They are concerned, not only with the specific evolution of Maya civilization, but also with the ways in which the Maya are similar to and different from other civilizations (general evolution). This interest in causation, including efforts to determine who the actors and decision makers were, what form their decisions took, and the sequence of strategies they implemented, has been advocated by many (Bailey, 1969; Lewis, 1974, 1981; Marcus and Flannery, 1996; Robin, 1999, 2001; Sherratt, 1992; Sztompka, 1994; Walker and Lucero, 2000; Zagarell, 1986). Now let us turn to some of the results of recent Maya research.

THE PALEOINDIAN AND ARCHAIC PERIODS: FROM 10,000 B.C. TO THE FIRST POTTERY

The Paleoindian period in the Maya region (c. 10,000–8000 B.C.) continues to be known from just a handful of sites. Data on the Archaic period (8000–2000 B.C.) are accumulating, however, particularly in Belize (see Fig. 1), where seven new Preceramic sites have been reported (Rosenswig and Masson, 2001). Three of these sites are in upland locations (Strath Bogue, Patt Work Site, and Test Program Subop 7); two are on islands (Laguna de On and Caye Coco); and the remaining two are on the shores of lagoons (Fred Smith Site and Doubloon Bank). Five of the sites are believed to date to the Late Preceramic, based on the presence of constricted unifaces (see below). The other two sites are assigned to the Preceramic, based on the presence of patinated chipped stone found in a distinctive orange soil horizon. It is also worth noting that at the previously known Ladyville 1 site, Preceramic Lowe points also were found in an orange stratum (Kelly, 1993, p. 215). The Preceramic component at Caye Coco covers an estimated 150 m2; among the discoveries there were a posthole, two hammerstones, and a worked oyster shell. It seems that Preceramic settlers were attracted to the Freshwater Creek drainage and preferred to camp near water. Despite these new discoveries, the lowlands of Mesoamerica have yet to host the kind of intensive and long-term regional study conducted in the high- land Mexican valleys of Tehuac´an and Oaxaca (Voorhies et al., 2002, p. 181). The lowland projects that come closest are those directed by (1) MacNeish in Belize (MacNeish, 1983; Zeitlin and Zeitlin, 2000), and (2) Voorhieson the Pacific P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

coast of Chiapas (Voorhies, 1976, 1996; Voorhies et al., 2002; Voorhies and Ken- nett, 1995). Excavations at the Chiapas coast site of Cerro de las Conchas in- dicate that Middle Archaic foragers (c. 5500–3500 B.C.) were clambakers who frequented the site year-round (especially during the dry season, when inland resources were scarce and the adjacent lagoons were teeming with shrimp and clams). Artifacts recovered at this shell mound include “cooking stones” (pos- sibly heated, then placed in gourds to boil food) and ark shells that served as cutting and scraping tools (Voorhies et al., 2002, p. 198). To the west of Cerro de las Conchas are Late Archaic shell mounds (Chantuto, Camp´on, Tlacuachero, El Chorro, and Zapotillo) that show evidence of successive stratified clambakes (see Fig. 2). Adaptations in Belize seem different, but the contrast may reflect where ar- chaeologists have chosen to excavate. Most excavated Archaic sites in Belize are inland, close to rivers or prime chert-bearing zones, rather than on the coast.

Fig. 2. Several key Preceramic sites are located on the Pacific coast of Chiapas, Mexico, not far from the Guatemalan border (redrawn from Voorhies et al., 2002, Fig. 1). P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Fig. 3. A constricted uniface, or chipped stone adze, such as that shown here, is considered to be a diagnostic tool of the Preceramic era in northern Belize (redrawn from Shafer et al., 1980, Fig. 6).

Excavations at Colha, the Kelly site, and Cobweb Swamp suggest occupational continuity from c. 3000–800 B.C. (Hester et al., 1980; Hester and Shafer, 1991; Iceland, 1997, 2001; Jacob, 1995; Jones, 1994; Shafer and Hester, 1991). Thick clay sediments in northern Guatemalan lakes also date to that time span, and they are thought to be the result of land clearance and deforestation (Rosenmeier et al., 2002). That 2200-year period covers the transition from the Preceramic to the era of Middle Preclassic pottery. Use-wear studies suggest that one of the diagnostic Late Archaic tools in northern Belize—the “constricted uniface” or unifacial adze—may have been used for ditch digging, woodworking, and forest clearance (Gibson, 1991; Shafer et al., 1980; see Fig. 3). Despite this evidence for continuity in domestic tasks over two millennia, Iceland (1997, 2001) suggests that a true Early Preclassic is absent in northern Belize. He sees the shift from Preceramic to pottery making occur- ring around 1000 B.C., much later than its occurrence in the Mexican highlands or the Chiapas and Guatemalan coasts. Other investigators, however, argue that there is indeed Early Preclassic material in Belize, citing ceramics, houses, and P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

middens found at Blackman Eddy and Cahal Pech (Awe, 1992; Cheetham, in press; Garber et al., 2002). Different questions are also being asked: Were the Preceramic populations ethnically Maya? When pottery first appears, was it a technology borrowed from neighbors, or was it introduced by pottery-making immigrants who were absorbed into Belize? Northern Honduras also has yielded evidence of Early Preclassic villages. One of these—Puerto Escondido, northwest of Playa de los Muertos—is a site with four earthen mounds, situated on a tributary of the Chamelec´on River. Having excavated stratified deposits 3.5 m deep, Joyce and Henderson (2001) argue that Puerto Escondido was settled prior to 1600 B.C. and that sophisticated pottery appeared there by that date. They are convinced that the fertile riverine setting of Puerto Escondido should yield other villages just as early (Joyce and Henderson, 2001, p. 21; Rue, 1989). At the same time, they are aware that such sites might be deeply buried below alluvial deposits. Even in well-surveyed areas such as the Copan Valley, where we know that the Early Preclassic existed, it has been difficult to find villages of that period. In 1896, George Byron Gordon (1898, Pl. 1) found Preclassic pottery while exca- vating a series of caves in Honduras. However, it was not until 1978, when Fash was excavating 600 m east of Copan’s Principal Group, that anyone encountered material as old as that found by Gordon. Finally, in 1981, Fash found even earlier material just 10 m away (Fash, 1991, p. 65). These materials include the earliest house known so far from the Copan Valley, dating to c. 1300 B.C., and ceramics showing connections to coastal and highland Guatemala. The next phase, 1000– 850 B.C., has distinctive burial vessels with shapes and pan-Mesoamerican motifs that are particularly well known from the highlands of Mexico (Fash, 2001, p. 69; Flannery and Marcus, 1994, 2000; Niederberger, 1976, 1987). Our glimpses into Early and Middle Preclassic life in the Copan Valley are tantalizing but limited (Rue et al., 1989; Viel, 1999). Why is it so difficult to find Early Preclassic villages? Hall and Viel (2003) suggest that the course of the Copan River has changed a number of times, with seasonal flooding burying earlier hamlets (Fash, 2001, p. 67). It may also be that some excavations were simply not deep enough to reach Preclassic levels. Some of Hall and Viel’s own excavations revealed thick sterile levels covering artifact-bearing levels. Excavations in Guatemala suggest that the highlands were a geographic and temporal bridge between Early Preclassic villages of the Chiapas coast and later lowland cities. Recent excavations in the Antigua Valley, at Ur´ıas and Rucal, have yielded stratified materials for the Early and Middle Preclassic (Garnica et al., 2001; Robinson and Pye, 1996). Garnica et al. note that the first pottery in the Antigua Valley is very well made and not simply a copy of either coastal or piedmont types. Their paste analyses, however, indicate that the vessels were made on clays from different environmental zones, suggesting to them that these were people from the Pacific coast who expanded into the Antigua Valley.

THE ORIGINS OF AGRICULTURE AND PRECLASSIC SUBSISTENCE STRATEGIES

Any discussion of early village life inevitably raises questions about the origins of agriculture. Renewed study by plant geneticists (Bennetzen et al., 2001) supports George Beadle’s 1939 hypothesis, which proposed that teosinte (Zea mexicana) was the wild ancestor of maize. Our oldest AMS dates for domestic maize come from the Valley of Oaxaca and are calibrated to 4350 B.C. (Benz, 2001; Piperno and Flannery, 2001). Maize occurs in the Tehuac´an Valley by 3500 B.C. (Long et al., 1989), and by 3000 B.C. had spread to the coast of Chiapas (Kennett and Voorhies, 1996), Belize (Pohl et al., 1996), and Lake Yojoa, Honduras (Rue, 1989, p. 177). It thus appears that tropical lowlanders, just like Mexican highlanders, were clearing forests and experimenting with corn agriculture long before they made pottery and lived in permanent villages (Pope et al., 2001). Although an earlier generation of scholars linked the origins of sociopolitical complexity to maize agriculture, it is clear that many millennia and considerable increase in cob length and kernel size had to take place before sociopolitical complexity arose in the Maya area. Because corn is known to comprise as much as 75% of the modern Maya diet, earlier scholars also imagined that corn might have constituted 75% of the ancient Maya diet. New evidence, however, indicates that lower maize percentages characterized the ancient Maya diet, particularly during the Preclassic era when human population density was lower and wild animals more plentiful. It also appears that even within the same village, maize consumption could vary. For example, at the site of Cahal Pech (Belize), stable isotope and nitrogen isotope ratios of human bone collagen reveal that lower status Middle Preclassic occupants residing on the periphery of the site were consuming less maize and more fish than the (apparently) higher status occupants in the center of the site (Powis et al., 1999, p. 373). At Cuello (Belize), similar analyses suggest that maize may have provided less than 30% of the Preclassic diet (van der Merwe et al., 2000, p. 29). While these studies of maize consumption were being conducted, others were focused on animal protein and meat intake (Carr, 1996; Emery, 1999; Moholy- Nagy, 1998; Pohl, 1994; Shaw, 1999). At Cuello, it appears that three animals dominated the Preclassic meat supply. White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was the prime source of meat, representing more than 50% of the minimum num- ber of individuals and potential meat intake in kilos. Freshwater turtles (especially Kinosternon sp. and Staurotypus sp.) and domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) were in second and third place (Wing and Scudder, 1991). On the basis of age data from bones and teeth, Clutton-Brock and Hammond (1994) suggest that most domesti- cated dogs were killed at one year of age. Since the weight of individual dogs at Cuello may have been 20–35 pounds, this domestic species could have contributed a substantial amount of meat. As Clutton-Brock and Hammond (1994, p. 825) note, “In a society where hunting was the major means of acquiring protein, the P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

availability of domesticated dogs requiring low energy expenditure to breed, feed, and slaughter, formed a useful reliable counterbalance to the vagaries of the chase.” The Maya data, however, indicate that there was considerable variability from site to site in the consumption of domesticated dog. Dog bones comprise less than 1% of the Preclassic faunal assemblage at Cahal Pech, but 7% at Cuello, and an impressive 34% at Dzibilchaltun (Powis et al., 1999, p. 374; Wing, 1975, p. 381; Wing and Scudder, 1991, pp. 88–95). An additional line of evidence, one that I hope will be pursued in the future, would be to compare the faunal assemblages from each individual household within the site. Not surprisingly, our new data show that Middle Preclassic Maya villages had a mixed economy—cultivated plants (e.g., corn, beans, and squash), wild plants (including tubers and roots), wild animals (e.g., turtles, armadillo, white-tailed and brocket deer, peccary, agouti, and marine and freshwater fish), and at least one domesticated animal (the dog). It would appear that the Preclassic populations of Belize had a more diversified diet than the Maya living in Guatemala and Honduras, although we cannot rule out sampling bias (Reed, 1994; Tykot et al., 1996; van der Merwe et al., 2000, p. 35; White et al., 2001, pp. 381–382).

NEW RESEARCH ON MAYA CHIEFDOMS

As in other parts of Mesoamerica, researchers have discovered that a long period of rank-based societies preceded the rise of Maya states. Both the scale and the rate at which they developed vary from region to region within the Maya area. In part, differences in scale reflect the ability of local leaders to create larger societies by overcoming the autonomy of neighboring villages. The resulting multivillage societies, under the centralized control of a paramount leader, were first called “chiefdoms” by Oberg (1955). For Carneiro (1991, 1998), the chiefdom represents the first moment in human history that village autonomy is transcended and a supravillage polity established. There are various ways in which this loss of autonomy can be detected in the archaeological record (e.g., Marcus and Flannery, 1996, pp. 108–110; Redmond, 1994, 1998). Often it takes military action to produce a chiefdom, since villages rarely relinquish their autonomy voluntarily (Carneiro, 1998, p. 21). This gives archaeologists several lines of evidence to recover. One is the identification of multivillage units (satellite villages as well as paramount centers). The other is the search for military activity or its results: burned buildings, defensive ditches or moats, ramparts, palisades, skeletal trauma, and mass burials. Even for the best-known Maya chiefdoms—headed by Kaminaljuy´u, Nakbe, El Mirador, Tikal, and Calakmul—we still need to determine their territorial extent, figure out how each paramount center incorporated subordinate centers to form a chiefdom, and identify the mechanisms and leadership strategies that led to the rise of chiefs in those paramount centers.

Evolutionary Effects of Warfare and Incorporation in Maya Chiefdoms

During the Middle and Late Preclassic, when several impressive chiefdoms appeared on the Maya landscape, we find evidence for raiding, violence, and trauma, as well as palisades, roads, and control of a large labor force. It is ironic that Maya society, once considered so peaceful and theocratic, is now recognized as actively engaged in violence long before the state formed. Scholars who once would have been satisfied with simply determining whether warfare was present or not are now engaged in determining its effect on political evolution, specifically state formation. The destruction and burning of buildings as early as the Middle Preclassic is one line of evidence. For example, excavations at Blackman Eddy (Belize) have revealed that a sculptured mask was pulled from the front of a Middle Preclassic platform, and that the platform was then intentionally burned (Garber et al., 2001, 2002); similar data have been recovered from Cuello for the Late Preclassic (see below). The earliest constructions at Nakbe (1000–800 B.C.) consist of packed earth floors and postholes in bedrock. The site started to take off at the end of that period, and by 800 B.C. Nakbe might have been a 50-ha town (Hansen, 1998, p. 56). Its architecture included stone platforms .50–2.0 m in height and composed of flat rectangular stones, evidently supporting perishable superstructures. Some of the latter show pole construction; others have wattle and daub, with vines holding the wattle together. Some platforms were covered with crude mortar, and thick plaster floors appeared by 600 B.C. Between 600 and 400 B.C., major platforms in the Mirador Basin reached heights of 3–8 m, and some covered 40,000 m2. In the East Group at Nakbe, some structures reached 18 m in height (Hansen, 1998, p. 63). Toward the end of the Middle Preclassic the first ballcourt was constructed at Nakbe, and by Late Preclassic times ballcourts were known from various sites in Belize, including Cerros, Pacbitun, Buenavista del Cayo, and Colha. Middle and Late Preclassic architectural complexes (called “E Groups” because they resemble Group E at Uaxactun) are made up of a large pyramid on the west side of a plaza and an elongated platform supporting three structures on the east side. In 1924 Frans Blom speculated that these E-group plazas had astronomical significance, and such an interpretation continues to find support (Chase and Chase, 1995; Fialko, 1988; Folan et al., 1995b, pp. 314–315; Morales L´opez, 1989). E Groups are known from Nakbe, Tikal, El Mirador, Uaxactun, and Wakna.

Wetland Management

Thirty years ago, Siemens and Puleston (1972) noted channels, canals, and raised fields along the Candelaria and Hondo Rivers. Prior to that discovery, most P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Recent Advances in Maya Archaeology 81

Maya archaeologists had assumed that ancient Maya agriculture entailed little more than swidden cultivation. Not long after the Siemens and Puleston article, Hammond (1978) referred to the death of the swidden paradigm as the “myth of the milpa.” It turned out that raised fields occurred not only on rivers, but also in swamps and bajos, where they covered hundreds of square kilometers (Adams, 1993; Adams et al., 1990; Harrison, 1996; Harrison and Fry, 2000; Pope and Dahlin, 1989, 1993). Ultimately, raised fields proved to be much less extensive than we imagined in the 1970s, but they were clearly important Late Preclassic strategies that converted alleged “wastelands” into highly productive wetlands (Pohl and Bloom, 1996; Pope et al., 1996; cf. Siemens et al., 2002). Questions still remain, however, about what was grown and for whom, and whether elites or common villagers directed such activities (Marcus, 1982, p. 269). The wetlands of the southern lowlands have received the lion’s share of atten- tion since the 1980s, but recent work has included the northern lowlands. Investi- gations in the El Ed´en wetland, in the northeast corner of the Yucatan Peninsula, provide evidence for wetland use that may be as early as Late Preclassic (Fedick et al., 2000). Such a date would make use of the northern wetlands contemporane- ous with known cases of southern wetland management (Harrison, 1996; Harrison and Fry, 2000; Pohl and Bloom, 1996). Over the last few decades we have learned that the ancient Maya practiced strategies as diverse as terracing, drained fields, raised fields, canals, arboricul- ture, and swidden—all geared to the conditions of specific locales, creating what Fedick (1996) has called a “managed mosaic.” What we still do not know is the temporal and geographic extent of each subsistence technology, nor do we know how climatic conditions affected each region’s strategy at different moments in prehistory (Dunning, 1996; Leyden, 2002; Leyden et al., 1996). Moreover, we should not underestimate the role that sociopolitical and economic goals played in the selection of agricultural strategies.

From Chiefdom to State

The transition from chiefdom to state may have occurred during the Late Pre- classic, but we do not have enough evidence to be sure. The Late Preclassic was a time of increased raiding, chiefly competition and flamboyance, diverse subsis- tence technologies (both extensive and intensive), increased population size and density, and greater control of labor and investment in monumental public building (especially immense platforms with triadic temples, and the construction of roads that linked towns). Villages of the Late Preclassic in the Copan Valley, such as Los Achiotes and Cerro Chino, were located on hilltops, either for defensive reasons or to avoid seasonal flooding on the alluvium below (Canuto, 2002; Carballo, 1997). Mass burials of males that were butchered or show healed fractures suggest that various sites were actively involved in raiding and captive taking. Such mass P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

82 Marcus

burials are known from Late Preclasic Cuello (Robin, 1989; Robin and Hammond, 1991; Saul and Saul, 1991, 1997), the Salam´a Valley (Sharer and Sedat, 1987), and Chalchuapa (Fowler, 1984). Of the 103 Late Preclassic burials from Cuello, nearly half were found in two mass burials. One such burial—containing the skeletons of at least 26 males, with most of the bodies showing evidence of having been butchered—was interred into a patio, after the fa¸cades of the surrounding buildings had been ripped off and the perishable superstructures had been burned (Hammond et al., 1991, pp. 41–42; Saul and Saul, 1991, pp. 157–158). Healed fractures were found only in males—one had malaligned parry or “nightstick” fractures of the left radius and ulna; another had a “Colles” fracture of the distal left radius and well-healed fractures of two left wrist bones (capitate and lunate); another had a fractured toe. As Saul and Saul (1997, p. 43) note, “the presence of fractures only in males, combined with the high incidence of healed fractures in the mass burial population (five fractures in at least three individuals) suggests that males, and particularly those within the mass burials, were in some way more ‘exposed’ to such trauma, perhaps through combat or ‘sports.”’ Northern Guatemala and southern Campeche have particularly high densities of Late Preclassic sites, including Calakmul, Naachtun, El Mirador, Porvenir, Pacaya, La Muralla, Nakbe, Tintal, Wakna (formerly G¨uiro), Uaxactun, and Tikal (see Fig. 4). Of these, El Mirador, Calakmul, Tikal, Nakbe, Tintal, and Wakna are quite large. Such size was manifested not only in the extent of the site, but also in mound volume or monumentality, especially in the construction of immense platforms to support temples. For example, multiple huge Late Preclassic platforms have recently been found at Champot´on, Campeche; one of these, measuring 54 m on a side, was excavated by Folan et al. (2002) (see Fig. 5). Such use of labor suggests that these sites had leaders who could attract large numbers of followers and command them to build immense public works. A number of Preclassic centers were also building both intrasite and intersite roads. The earliest such road may be the intrasite sacbe at Nakbe, built during the late Middle Preclassic (Hansen, 1998, p. 75; Suasn´avar, 1994). By the Late Preclassic, the causeways at Nakbe had parapets on both sides, were set 4 m above the terrain, had a width of 24 m, and were paved with thick layers of white sascab up to 1 m thick. Intersite roads linked Calakmul to El Mirador, El Mirador to Nakbe, and Nakbe to Tintal (Folan et al., 1995a, 2001b; Hansen, 1998, 2001). Because place names or emblem glyphs are lacking in the Preclassic, we consider these roads a godsend, as they also have the potential of revealing political links and alliances. It is interesting that the occupants of the biggest sites—Calakmul, Nakbe, El Mirador, Naachtun, and Tikal—preferred to settle near bajos or depressions (Adams, 1980, 1983, pp. 326–327; Adams et al., 1981; Adams and Jones, 1981; Folan et al., 1995b, pp. 311–312; Hansen, 1998; Harrison, 1986, pp. 49, 57). This preference for swamp-side settlement is the opposite of what earlier scholars P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

expected. The latter often assumed that ancient settlers wanted to avoid such “wasteland,” but it now appears that the ancient Maya valued it.

Monumentality in the Late Preclassic Period

The paramount centers in the Mirador Basin seem particularly flamboyant and monumental relative to others in the Maya region. At present, we do not know P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Included are very large (250–1000-kg) tight-fitting stone blocks, rounded corners, and recessed staircases in each corner (redrawn by K. Clahassey from unpublished drawings made by R. Gonz´alez H. and J. J. Cosgaya).

enough about these sites to provide a good explanation. The fact that all lay in the same basin may have led to their being in competition with each other, especially for manpower. The lavish use of manpower to produce monumental structures is characteristic of competing chiefdoms, who seek to attract followers by outdoing each other, but also typical of emerging states that need to display their control over labor (Marcus, 1992a, 2003).

We cannot simply measure “power” through monumentality, of course, be- cause the archaeological record is full of societies that invested in impressive monuments precisely because they lacked the institutional and military power of later polities. Indeed, some of the most spectacular later Maya tombs and mon- uments were erected by usurpers from outside the direct line of succession, who sought extra legitimization or sanctification from public works. Given the immense size of the Late Preclassic public buildings at El Mirador, Lamanai, Calakmul, and Nakbe, one could infer that these were the paramount centers of impressive chief- doms or that they were capitals of emerging states. Yet some of these centers, like El Mirador, may have collapsed before achieving statehood, while others, like Calakmul, went on to become the capitals of major states. Why did this happen? Was El Mirador defeated by Calakmul? Currently there is some evidence to suggest that centers like Calakmul and Tikal founded states by subjugating and incorporat- ing previously autonomous rival chiefdoms (Folan et al., 1995a,b; Harrison, 1999; Marcus, 1995a, 1998a). El Mirador’s demise is all the more interesting because that site seems to have invested more effort than any other in creating monumental platforms to support its temples. The structure called El Tigre reached 55 m and covered 19,600 m2, while the Danta pyramid reached 72 m in height. Calakmul commissioned an equally monumental building (Structure II) during the Late Preclassic, a pyramid that reached 55 m in height (Folan et al., 1995b, p. 316). Many sites of this era display monumental masks for the first time (Cerros, Uaxactun, El Mirador, Tikal, Nakbe, and Lamanai). These masks often seem to depict powerful natural forces such as Sun and Earth (Freidel et al., 1993). We would like to know if the process of honoring Earth, and nature in general, might be related to large-scale modifications of the environment during the Late Preclassic, such as the construction of raised fields, canals, and terraces.

The Political Context

An impediment to our understanding of how Maya sociopolitical, economic, and agricultural systems were integrated is the tenacity of outmoded ways of thinking about the Maya. This is a point made by Pyburn (1996; 1997, p. 156), who refers to a “set of peculiar, almost magical qualities” that continue to “imbue descriptions of the Maya.” One such view is that the ancient Maya had “no economy beyond patrilineal kin relations”; another is that they had “the ability to maintain a kinship and cosmological system over thousands of kilometers and through thousands of years despite conquest and domination.” One recent attempt to understand the building blocks of Maya society is that of Gillespie (2000a,b), who—drawing on Levi-Strauss’s concept of “house societies”—suggests that we replace the term “lineage” with “house.” The house can be thought of as a corporate group that has economic, political, and landholding P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

functions, and such houses “are often manifest in the upper levels of society, while commoners may lack the wherewithal to maintain an estate and to attract new members to perpetuate it” (Gillespie, 2000b, p. 477). “Understanding the operation of Maya noble houses will allow for a closer integration of social organization with political, economic, and religious configurations within the Maya civilization” (Gillespie, 2000b, p. 478). Did elite houses control access to particular tracts of wetlands or raised fields? Did they control the items grown on them, and direct the labor to construct them? We do not yet know, but understanding the links between land, labor, and tribute will be important work for future research. It seems to have taken more than 1000 years for lowland Maya Preclassic societies to become complex enough to serve as precursors for states. By the middle of the second millennium B.C., agricultural villages occurred over the whole area from the Basin of Mexico to the Pacific coast of Guatemala and the Caribbean coast of Honduras. About 150 years before the beginning of the Christian era, several sets of chiefdoms had been reorganized into states in the highlands of Mexico. The lowland Maya area had some very large chiefdoms at this time and may have witnessed the emergence of its first state.

ISSUES OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY STATE FORMATION

The centuries from A.D. 100 to 500 witnessed the rise of states in several parts of the Maya region. Not all of these transformations, however, qualify as cases of primary state formation. That term is usually reserved for states that form from chiefly societies, in the absence of a preexisting state that could serve as a model. Once the first state has formed in a region, secondary states based on that preexisting model can arise through a number of processes. In some cases, neighboring chiefly centers may join forces and reorganize themselves to avoid being absorbed into an expanding primary state. In other cases, a chiefdom desiring greater power might ask an established state to send it a prince from the latter’s royal house. A well-known example occurred when the Mexica of Tenochtitlan asked the more blue-blooded ruler of Culhuacan to send them their first true “king”; he sent Acamapichtli, who came to be the founder of a new dynasty. Significantly, although the Mexica began as a secondary state, they went on to be much more powerful than Culhuacan.

Primary State Formation in the Maya Area

Since few signatures of the state have so far been documented at El Mirador, scholars still disagree as to whether it headed a paramount chiefdom or an emerging P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Recent Advances in Maya Archaeology 87

state that abruptly collapsed. The fact that El Mirador collapsed at about the same time that Tikal rose to political prominence suggests that any attempts El Mirador may have made to consolidate its region ultimately failed. Time will tell whether it was a case of incipient state formation that was destined to be short-lived. Perhaps other polities learned from El Mirador’s demise, because during Early Classic times (A.D. 250–500) Tikal and Calakmul were successful at forming enduring states. It is important that the El Mirador case be fully analyzed, because it bears directly on the question of whether or not lowland Maya state formation lagged behind the Mexican highlands. The first convincing clues for primary state formation in the Maya area come from the monumental sites of Tikal and Calakmul (Coe, 1990; Folan et al., 1995b; Harrison, 1970, 1999; Matheny, 1980, 1986, 1987; Sharer, 1992, 1994); if, in the future, convincing evidence does show that El Mirador did achieve statehood ear- lier, that would mean Tikal and Calakmul were second-generation states. Although large buildings alone are not evidence of a state, the huge pyramids at El Mirador and Calakmul at least show us that the early leaders of both sites could attract large numbers of laborers and command them to build immense public works. The Early Classic witnessed the founding of dynasties at several key sites, including Tikal and Calakmul (see Fig. 6). By looking at two cases of primary state formation (Tikal and Calakmul) and two cases of secondary state formation (Copan and Dos Pilas), we can begin the important task of outlining some of the similarities and differences between primary and secondary Maya states.

Two Cases of Primary State Formation in the Maya Area

The Tikal Case

Extensive work at Tikal has been conducted by the University of Pennsylvania (Coe, 1990; Jones et al., 1981) and the Instituto de Antropolog´ıa e Historia of Guatemala (Laporte and Fialko, 1990, 1995). The result is that Tikal is one of the few places in the Maya lowlands where primary state formation can be studied. The recovery of stone monuments with hieroglyphic texts (Jones and Satterthwaite, 1982), detailed stratigraphic sequences of public architecture (Coe, 1990; Harrison, 1970), and new data on some of Tikal’s subordinate towns, such as Uaxactun, El Encanto, Bejucal, and Uolantun (Fahsen, 1998; Vald´es, 1992; Vald´es et al., 1997, 1999; Vidal et al., 1996) have given us insight into the formation of the Tikal state. Current data suggest that the agent who can be credited with founding the Tikal state was lord Yax Eb Xok, who probably ruled sometime between A.D.50 and 150. Although we know very little about Yax Eb Xok, we know even less about the nine rulers who reigned during the subsequent 150 years. The problem is that we have no contemporaneous monuments for the first 200 years of “dynastic history” at Tikal, only occasional retrospective references to earlier lords.

Many cities flourished throughout the Maya highlands and lowlands during the Late Preclassic (300 B.C.toA.D. 250) and Classic (A.D. 250–900), and some of them are shown here (redrawn from Sharer, 1994, Fig. 1.1).

more excavation, however, it is possible that monuments carved during the reigns of the first 10 rulers will be recovered. Even though Yax Eb Xok is credited with creating the first Tikal state, it may have quickly cycled back into a paramount chiefdom for a while as a series of new leaders emerged, each attempting to complete the necessary consolidation and expansion. Such “cycling” (Anderson, 1996a,b; Marcus, 1993, 1998a; Spencer, 1993; Stein and Rothman, 1994) is typical of emerging states and may one day prove to have happened at El Mirador as well. At present, our oldest nonretrospective date for the Maya region is A.D. 292, which appears on Tikal’s Stela 29. By the time of Tikal’s 11th and 13th rulers, mentioned on stelae at towns subordinate to Tikal, we begin to see the network of lesser communities incorporated into the Tikal polity. The appearance of three additional administrative levels below the capital suggests a state society. Other evidence for statehood is present, but fragmentary. Little is known about when the first royal palace was built, because the sequence of early palaces was largely razed in antiquity (Harrison, 1999, p. 114). The first well-preserved palace is that of the 14th ruler, Great Paw or Chak Tok Ich’aak, and was probably built around A.D. 360. This ruler’s reign ended abruptly on the same day that “strangers” or “foreigners” arrived. Proskouriakoff was the first to note that the death of Great Paw coincided with the arrival of foreigners on January 16, A.D. 378; she suggested that the nearby subordinate town of Uaxactun “either in league with foreigners or us- ing the foreigners as mercenaries, was responsible for the incident that led to the demise of Great Paw” (Proskouriakoff, 1993, p. 8). The likelihood that war- fare between Tikal and Uaxactun was involved is suggested not only by hiero- glyphic texts, but also by the construction of earthworks and ditches that separated Tikal from Uaxactun. The Tikal fortifications delimit an area of about 120 km2 and end at major swamps that lie to the west and east (Puleston and Callender, 1967). The Tikal text referring to the arrival of strangers has been the subject of considerable debate over the years and remains controversial. Who were these foreigners? Were they allied to a rival Maya city? It has been speculated that they might have come from Kaminaljuy´u, or even from some place in the Mexican highlands, like Teotihuacan. What impact did their arrival have? Did they remove the Tikal ruler and place a foreigner on the Tikal throne, interrupting the dynastic line? Some have suggested that an actual Teotihuacan prince was placed on the throne (Stuart, 2000), while others suggest that Mexican allies might have aided a Maya usurper from a rival city (Braswell, 2003; Coggins, 1975; Proskouriakoff, 1993). Hieroglyphic texts indicate that more than a year and a half passed before a new Tikal ruler was inaugurated (see Fig. 7). The foreigner question will certainly continue to provoke debate for the next few decades, so let us look at the current body of evidence. Few scholars doubt P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Many scholars have remarked that this Maya ruler is shown wearing “Mexican garb,” including a plated helmet and square shield adorned with “the goggle-eyed deity” usually asso- ciated with Teotihuacan (drawn by J. Klausmeyer from Stela 31, Tikal). P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

that the lowland Maya were in contact with the Mexican highlands, since there is abundant evidence for trade in obsidian, cylindrical tripod vessels, and other goods. Furthermore, excavations in the Mundo Perdido section of Tikal have exposed buildings in “Mexican-influenced” talud-tablero style (Laporte, 1989; Laporte and Fialko, 1990, 1995). The earliest examples of such architecture, however, appear 100–200 years before the arrival of “foreigners” in A.D. 378. Moreover, although that architectural style was once considered a hallmark of Teotihuacan, more recent excavations show that it occurred at sites in Puebla and Tlaxcala even earlier than it was used at Teotihuacan (Garc´ıa Cook, 1981; Gendrop, 1984; Plunket and Uru˜nuela, 1998, 2000). It also has been found much closer to Tikal, for example at sites in Campeche and Guatemala. Laporte (1989) argues that the architectural style is so varied, and occurs over such a substantial period of time, that it cannot be traced to a single source. Such new data require a rethinking of Teotihuacan “influence” in the for- mation of the Maya state. A quarter century ago, Sanders (1974) suggested that Teotihuacan immigrants played an important role in moving Kaminaljuy´u from chiefdom to state. Sanders argued that Teotihuacan was interested in gaining a foothold in the Guatemalan highlands in order to establish a monopoly over Mesoamerican obsidian. Key tombs in Mounds A and B at Kaminaljuy´u (Kidder et al., 1946) included hundreds of vessels, as well as obsidian and bone artifacts, that were presumed to be imports from Teotihuacan. The high-status people in these tombs were presumed to be Teotihuacanos, whose marriage to the local elites transformed Kaminaljuy´u (Sanders, 1974). Brainerd (1954, p. 23), how- ever, had already noted that the styles of the tomb objects reflected contact with multiple regions, not just Teotihuacan but also Veracruz and the Maya lowlands. Brainerd suggested that such a “cosmopolitan exchange of goods and ideas” was characteristic of Mesoamerican elite. Indeed, few of the artifacts from the Kaminaljuy´u tombs have proved to be actual imports from the Mexican highlands; among the latter are 16 Thin Orange vessels probably made in Puebla (Demarest and Foias, 1993, pp. 156–157). It is even possible that future paste analyses may demonstrate that more of the tomb vessels were imported from lowland regions (Veracruz, Tabasco, and northern Guatemala) than from highland Mexico. After all, even the cylindrical tripod— once considered a hallmark of Teotihuacan—is now thought to have originated in the lowlands of Veracruz(Rattray, 1977, 1983). As for the elites in the Kaminaljuy´u tombs, recent isotopic analyses reveal that the principal skeletons in the Mound A tombs were not from Teotihuacan. At the same time, some of the retainers accompanying the principal tomb occupants seem to be nonlocal (White et al., 2000). Another twist to the story is new evidence showing that the Maya had their own impact on Teotihuacan. Yes, the Maya were receiving Mexican goods and influ- ences, but they were in turn influencing Teotihuacan’s art, ceramics, and economy, P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

92 Marcus

and perhaps even visiting Teotihuacan itself. Fash and Fash (2000) have made the case that such visits would have enabled the Maya to bring foreign goods, styles, and strategies back to their homeland. Over the years, scholars have oscillated between assigning Teotihuacan a major role in the formation of the Maya state and denying it any role at all (see discussions in Braswell, 2003). Current evidence indicates that neither extreme position seems tenable. While the Maya were certainly in contact with the Mexi- can highlands, that contact alone is insufficient to explain the origins of the state at Tikal or Calakmul. Moreover, the influence of contact with the Mexican highlands almost certainly varied from site to site and decade to decade. Schele and Mathews (1998, p. 337), for example, suggest that the adoption of some talud-tablero archi- tecture and Mexican iconography “does not signal the domination of Teotihuacan politically or militarily, but rather the growth of a system of affiliations through trade, religion, and perhaps alliance.” They argue that the Maya appropriated and adapted Teotihuacan iconography to fit Maya needs. We also must consider the possibility that usurpers and invaders from rival Maya sites may have emulated highland Mexican elements and icons, bolstering their authority by showing themselves to be tied to exotic and powerful places. This is the kind of framework advocated years ago by Coggins (1975) and Stone (1989). Thus, even though an outsider may be portrayed on a stone monument as a “Teotihuacan warrior,” he may have come from another Maya site, such as Kaminaljuy´u, whose ties to Teotihuacan are evident (Braswell, 2003; Coggins, 1975; Demarest and Foias, 1993; Kidder et al., 1946). Recovering the skeletons of these “foreigners” at Tikal should shed more light on their actual geographic origin. It seems unlikely that Teotihuacan could have controlled any lowland Maya state for a significant period of time. The distances involved are more than 1000 km, and even the powerful Aztec had problems holding on to colonies that distant from the Basin of Mexico. Powerful states could move against their neighbors if the latter were organized at a level below that of a state, but their relationship with powerful distant states usually took the form of diplomacy. They might bring offerings to the funerals of rulers residing in other polities, provide gifts to be included in dedicatory caches below important structures, or send royal women to marry into the ruling houses of states with whom they wanted profitable relations. My own suspicion, based on currently available data, is that the Teotihuacanos were interested in large Maya sites precisely because the latter already approximated Teotihuacan’s level of sociopolitical complexity.

The Calakmul Case

From surveys and excavations directed by Folan et al. (1995b, 2001a) and Carrasco (1996, 1999, 2000), we have learned a great deal about Calakmul and P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Recent Advances in Maya Archaeology 93

its far-flung relations. Although Tikal can claim the stela with the earliest con- temporaneous date (A.D. 292), Calakmul had the largest number of stelae (currently 117). Calakmul and El Mirador were linked by a road that appears to have been constructed during the Late Preclassic. Once El Mirador was abandoned at the end of the Preclassic, it appears that Calakmul constructed a network of roads linking it to a series of equidistantly spaced subordinate sites, such as Naachtun, Oxpemul, Balakbal, and Uxul. The precise dating of these roads (at their earliest stages) will one day shed light on state formation in the Calakmul region. At the moment, there appears to be a good fit between the actual location of Calakmul’s subordinate centers and the predictions of central place theory (Folan et al., 1995a). In models derived from this theory, the most efficient way to administer subordinate sites is to have them spaced equidistantly from each other and from the capital. Most efficient of all is when subordinate centers are spaced one day’s travel from the capital (c. 30 km), which appears to have been the case around Calakmul (Marcus, 1973). At present, the earliest hieroglyphic dates at Calakmul occur on Stela 114, dedicated in A.D. 435 (Marcus and Folan, 1994). However, a series of 11 vessels that may have been painted in the Nakbe region are thought to describe the accession of still earlier Calakmul rulers, some of whom may be legendary (Martin and Grube, 2000, p. 102). During the fifth century, texts begin to be carved at Calakmul’s subordinate towns, and during the sixth century, some assert that Calakmul lords presided over the installation of rulers at other sites. At this time, Calakmul also began to lure away some of Tikal’s allies (Marcus and Folan, 1994). A text at Caracol asserts that Tikal suffered a military defeat in A.D. 562. For the next 130 years, Tikal failed to erect any hieroglyphic monuments, and during this period it appears that Calakmul and Caracol had their way, allying to defeat such rivals as Naranjo (Chase and Chase, 2000a,c). Calakmul also attacked Palenque twice during two dry seasons, in April of A.D. 599 and April of 611 (Mathews, 2000; Schele, 1994, pp. 1–2). The most famous Calakmul ruler—Jaguar Paw or Yich’aak K’ak’—was born on October 6, A.D. 649, and took office on April 3, 686, at the age of 36 (Marcus and Folan, 1994). As a measure of this ruler’s importance, his accession was recorded in texts at Dos Pilas and El Per´u, and the lord of Dos Pilas even attended his inauguration. Jaguar Paw eventually suffered defeat in battle with Tikal, but his ultimate fate remains unclear, because there are at least two versions of how his career ended (Carrasco et al., 1999; Martin and Grube, 2000, p. 111). The Tikal version was given by its ruler Jasaw Chan K’awiil, who says that he captured Jaguar Paw of Calakmul on August 5, 695. This version has led many scholars to conclude that Jaguar Paw was killed on that date and buried at Tikal. Recent excavations at Calakmul, however, have provided possible contradictory evidence—an elaborate tomb in Structure II that may contain the remains of Jaguar Paw. A polychrome plate in the tomb bears a hieroglyphic text that specifies “the plate of Jaguar Paw” (Carrasco et al., 1999; Garc´ıa-Moreno and Granados, 2000); of course, we cannot P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

94 Marcus

rule out the possibility that the individual in the tomb had inherited the plate or received it as a gift. The polity administered by Jaguar Paw of Calakmul was large. It seems, however, to have been a mosaic rather than a continuous bloc, as he did not claim the terrain lying between the cities of his allies. Despite its mosaic nature, Jaguar Paw’s territory was so large that the “Snake Head” emblem glyph I identified 30 years ago as Calakmul’s was mentioned even more widely by other cities than Tikal’s emblem glyph. This wide distribution, as well as the contexts in which subordinate sites mentioned Calakmul, led me to suggest that it was one of the most important Maya capitals, administering a large regional state with a multitiered hierarchy of subordinate settlements, each with its sublord (Marcus, 1973). All the new discoveries by Carrasco, Folan, Freidel, Grube, Martin, and Schele confirm Calakmul’s importance and add details I could not have predicted in 1973.

Two Cases of Secondary State Formation in the Maya Area

Two clear cases of Maya secondary state formation—Copan and Dos Pilas— are now known in some detail. We also can use them to shed new light on secondary state collapse.

The Copan Case

The recent Copan project, in which W. L. Fash, B. W. Fash, R. J. Sharer, R. Agurcia, D. Sedat, E. W. Andrews, L. Traxler, L. Schele, D. Stuart, N. Grube, and many others have collaborated, has been a model of multidisciplinary integration. It appears that during the Late Preclassic Copan was not yet part of a state. Later hieroglyphic texts at Copan, however, refer retrospectively to significant events at 321 B.C., A.D. 159, and A.D. 160 (Riese, 1992, pp. 132–133; Schele and Freidel, 1990, Fig. 8:2). We do not yet know what happened on those dates, but they suggest the presence of individual leaders or “agents” whose actions were important enough to be referred to by later rulers. Some of the dates may refer to events that took place in a long cycling process, during which Late Preclassic and Protoclassic leaders made attempts to unify the Copan Valley. The founder of Copan’s first royal dynasty was K’uk’ Mo’, who arrived in A.D. 426. We are told this on Altar Q, a monument commissioned in A.D. 776, which depicts a ruler named Yax Pasaj and the 15 rulers who preceded him. The text on the top of the altar says, “on September 6, A.D. 426, Lord K’uk’ Mo’ took the scepter k’awiil in the Crossed Torches House”; the hieroglyph of “seizing the k’awiil scepter” is often interpreted as accession to the throne (Marcus, 1976, pp. 134–135; Schele and Freidel, 1990, p. 317). Three days later K’uk’ Mo’ is said to have come away from Crossed Torches House, having received his full royal P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

name of K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’; this acquisition of a new name is also consistent with having taken office. Next comes an important passage stating that K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’ had reached Copan after a trip of five months. From whence had he come? Archae- ologists have found a tomb thought likely to be that of K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo (Bell et al., 2003; Sharer et al., 1999a,b), and his bone chemistry indicates that he was from another lowland Maya site (Buikstra et al., 2003). His skeleton also shows that he had survived a number of injuries consistent with pre-Columbian military activity. His battle wounds had left him with at least three broken ribs (healed), a parry fracture at the midpoint of his right forearm (partially healed), a fractured scapula (partially healed), and a broken fifth metacarpal. By combining his hieroglyphic death date of A.D. 437 with evidence that he had attained 55–70 years of age, Buikstra et al. have concluded that K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’ was at least in his 40s when he acceded to the throne of Copan. That he was of noble birth is suggested by his cranial deformation and the fact that several of his teeth had been filed and given jadeite inlays. While we will never know the details of Lord K’uk’ Mo’s life, the data at our disposal suggest an analogy with other royal usurpers—men of high birth who (often because there were others ahead of them in the succession to their native throne) used military skills to take over a distant polity. The Maya lord B’alaj Chan K’awiil of Dos Pilas (see below) and the Mixtec lord 8 Deer “Tiger Claw” of Tilantongo are two who come to mind. To support the notion that Lord K’uk Mo’ was a noble usurper who used military campaigns to take over Copan, we can look for evidence that he went to great lengths to legitimize his rule. Among the strategies used by other Mesoamerican usurpers to legitimize themselves were (1) ambitious programs of public construction, (2) the commissioning of new texts, (3) marriages to prominent local women (perhaps even the widows, sisters, or daughters of the local nobles they had defeated), and (4) the acquisition of new territory through conquest or diplomacy (Marcus, 1992a,b). As it happens, a few of K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’s possible acts of self- legitimization are archaeologically detectable. On the same day that he received his full royal name K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo, he incorporated Quirigua (some 50 km distant) into the Copan polity. A Quirigua hieroglyphic text states that that city’s first official ruler took office under the auspices of K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’; this simultaneous installation of rulers at Copan and Quirigua suggests that K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’ had put someone he trusted in charge of Quirigua, making it a secondary center in his administrative hierarchy. Other towns that may have been conquered by K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’ and incorporated into his expansionist state were Pusilha (c. 120 km from Copan) and Uxbenka (c. 20 km north of Pusilha). K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’ also may have legitimized himself by marrying an important local woman. The tomb of a woman believed to be K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’s wife has come to light in the Copan building archaeologists have P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

designated “Margarita” (Bell, 2002; Bell et al., 2000; Sharer, 1998, 1999; Sharer et al., 1999a,b). Her tomb is the richest and most elaborate of all those found at Copan, and strontium isotope analyses suggest that she was native to the Copan Valley (Buikstra et al., 2003). Furthermore, the son of K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’, known as Ruler 2, kept her tomb open to make further offerings. This woman’s spectacular offerings would make sense if she were simultaneously the daughter of a noble Copan family, the wife of Yax K’uk’ Mo’, and the mother of Ruler 2 (Sharer et al., 1999a, p. 242). K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’ also engaged in the kind of ambitious building pro- gram typical of usurpers who seek legitimation. During his short reign (A.D. 426– 437) he constructed platforms and public structures that served as the template for all subsequent rulers of his dynasty (Traxler, n.d., 2001). He established a plaza and building complex, now called the Copan Acropolis, that provided the back- drop for 400 subsequent years of royal activities—inaugurations, council meetings, receptions, and funerals. K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’ and his successors may have administered a state covering c. 10,000 km2. Their realm remained large until A.D. 738, at which point Quirigua’s ruler claims to have captured the lord of Copan in battle, thereby achiev- ing Quirigua’s independence (Fash, 1991; Marcus, 1976, 1992a; Sharer, 1994). From that time on, Quirigua embarked on its own ambitious flurry of construction and monument carving (Sharer, 1990, 1991, 1994). Despite their shrinking realm, later rulers at Copan continued to link themselves to K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’, the founder of their first dynasty (Fash, 2001; Sharer, 1994). Copan qualifies as a secondary state, since it did not arise from a set of chief- doms in the absence of a preexisting state. It arose 350 years after primary states like Tikal, apparently as the result of a usurper who already knew statecraft. That usurper, K’uk’ Mo’, used military skills to reach the throne, then arranged an ad- vantageous political marriage and undertook a campaign of ambitious building and military expansion to legitimize himself. Although he reigned for only a decade, his impact on Copan was so lasting that 350 years later, he was still featured on monuments commissioned by the final rulers of the dynasty he had founded. K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’ evidently brought the template of a powerful preex- isting state with him and established a grand architectural plan that was maintained throughout the history of the Copan Acropolis. We know all of this only because the team of archaeologists working at Copan figured out how to tunnel into the core of major structures and recover the sequence of earlier buildings and associated texts. They kept digging—literally and figuratively—until they had K’inich Yax K’uk’ Mo’ himself, and could read in his healed wounds the price of creating a state through military expansion. Now that the Copan Valley has been intensively researched for decades, it has truly become a case study that transcends its region (Bell et al., 2003). It is in fact one of the most detailed archaeological examples of secondary state formation anywhere in the prehistoric world.

The Dos Pilas Case

The land between the Salinas and Pasi´on Rivers has provided us with an- other case of secondary state formation. This area has been the scene of the Vanderbilt Petexbatun project (Demarest, 1997; Demarest et al., 1997; Escobedo, 1997; Houston, 1993; Inomata, 1997; Palka, 1997; Vald´es, 1997). At A.D. 647, the Petexbatun site of Dos Pilas had a small population and no monumental buildings. Its importance was to change, however, in A.D. 648 with the arrival of B’alaj Chan K’awiil, who may have been a son of the 23rd or 24th ruler of Tikal. B’alaj Chan K’awiil had traveled from Tikal to Dos Pilas and, with the support of Yuknoom, ruler of Calakmul, founded his own royal dynasty. We can only speculate on the political dynamics of these events. Perhaps B’alaj Chan K’awiil, although of noble birth, was not in line for the throne of Tikal and saw the takeover of Dos Pilas as his best chance for advancement. Certainly that site lay far enough from Tikal to make military interference from the latter city difficult. Having Calakmul as an ally would offer B’alaj Chan K’awiil some protection from Tikal; in turn, such an alliance would give Calakmul a foothold of influence in what had been, up until A.D. 648, Tikal’s region. One of the ironies of his takeover is that B’alaj Chan K’awiil opted to use the Tikal emblem glyph on his monuments, rather than creating a new one for Dos Pilas. In spite of his change of venue, he may still have seen himself as part of the royal house of Tikal. Nine years later, in A.D. 657, Calakmul attacked Tikal. In A.D. 659, Tikal’s ruler evidently took refuge at Palenque (Schele, 1994, pp. 3–4). Some time later, the Tikal lord was able to return to his throne. In A.D. 672, this same ruler of Tikal attacked Dos Pilas and took control, forcing B’alaj Chan K’awiil into exile, perhaps at Calakmul (Martin and Grube, 2000, p. 58). Uniting with Yuknoom of Calakmul in A.D. 677, B’alaj Chan K’awiil forced the Tikal ruler out of Dos Pilas and regained his throne. In A.D. 679, Yuknoom of Calakmul, uniting again with B’alaj Chan K’awiil, succeeded in capturing the ruler of Tikal. The date in A.D. 679 was exactly 20 years to the day—one katun—since the arrival date in A.D. 659 of the Tikal ruler at Palenque (we simply do not know whether the date of this last event was specially selected, or whether the textual record was adjusted; see Martin and Grube, 2000, p. 43; Schele, 1994, pp. 3–4; Schele and Mathews, 1998, p. 55). As further evidence of Dos Pilas’ alliance with Calakmul, B’alaj Chan K’awiil attended two events at Calakmul, one of which was the inauguration of Jaguar Paw, who took the Calakmul throne in A.D. 686 (Marcus and Folan, 1994). Like many usurpers, B’alaj Chan K’awiil undertook a flurry of building projects and established political ties by marrying women from other cities. Dur- ing the reigns of his two sons, more military successes were achieved, new public buildings constructed, and various subordinate centers incorporated, all of which helped to create the multitiered hierarchy characteristic of a state. In sum, B’alaj P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Chan K’awiil and his sons successfully forged a regional state that encompassed the entire Petexbatun region (Schele and Mathews, 1998, p. 177). Only because the hieroglyphic texts give us the names of the agents involved, their places of origin, the dates of their battles, and their political alliances can we partially reconstruct this case of secondary state formation. It should be acknowl- edged that Dos Pilas was not a particularly large state in terms of territory, and although its capital may have had 5000 people at its peak, it featured few truly monumental buildings. After A.D. 760, warfare continued to escalate in the Petexbatun polity. Each community defended itself, with remarkable fortifications surviving not only at Dos Pilas but also at naturally defensible locations such as Aguateca, Punta de Chimino, Quim Chi Hilan, Cerro de Cheyo, Cerro de Bananas, Cerro de Mariposas, Cerro de Miguel, and Cerro de Yax. Typical fortifications in the region included moats and/or concentric rings of stone walls surmounted by wooden palisades. Demarest et al. (1997, p. 247) state that “the Petexbatun landscape had become similar to that of the very early Middle Ages, with defense being the primary variable for location of villages and major centers.” Between A.D. 760 and 830 “the great centers of the region fell into ruin one by one” (Demarest, 1997, p. 219). The Petexbatun project illustrates the point that warfare was as much a creator as a destroyer of states. As for the underlying causes of that warfare, Demarest (1997, p. 221) believes that his project has been able to eliminate from considera- tion (1) the arrival of foreigners, (2) malnutrition, (3) ecological catastrophe, and (4) a radical change in the economy. Perpetual competition within and between royal houses would seem to be a far more likely underlying cause, although not necessarily the only one. Finally, we should note that our two cases of secondary state formation— Copan and Dos Pilas—show differences as well as similarities. The differences include the fact that the Petexbatun polity became a state much later in Maya history than Copan and needed to be externally propped up by Calakmul. The similarities include the fact that both polities used warfare and/or strategic marriage alliance to increase their importance; both invested in stone masonry temples, palaces, and hieroglyphic stairways; and both administered multitiered hierarchies after having incorporated some key subordinate centers.

Reconstructing the Classic Maya Diet and Stature

Years ago, archaeologists wrote about “the Maya diet” as if it were uniform. Now there is evidence to show that the diets of elites and commoners differed, and that diets varied from individual to individual and site to site over time (Gerry and Krueger, 1997; Lentz, 1991; Powis et al., 1999; Tykot et al., 1996; White, 1997; White et al., 2001; Whittington and Reed, 1997b).

Recent Advances in Maya Archaeology 99

One of the catalysts for new studies on ancient Maya diet has been the devel- opment of chemical techniques for the study of human and animal bone. Both trace element analysis and isotopic analysis have overcome some of the limitations of previous studies. One advantage is that they can provide data on the “meal” con- sumed rather than just the “menu” of possibilities (Bumsted, 1985), and can do so at the level of the individual. Another advantage is that even very fragmentary bone can be analyzed. The ideal is to integrate multiple lines of evidence, com- bining traditional faunal and floral analyses (the menu) with the results from bone chemistry (the meal). These isotopic and trace element studies of Maya skeletons turn the spotlight on the individual. By so doing, they complement recent work on agency, the individual in daily life, gender, commoners, and houses and households (Ardren, 2002; Becker, 1999; Canuto and Yaeger, 2000; Gillespie and Joyce, 1997; Hendon, 1997; Hewitt, 1999; Joyce, 2000; Lohse and Valdez, in press; Robin, 1999, 2001, 2002; Sharer, 1996; Sheets, 1992; Sweely, 1999; Yaeger, 2000, 2002, 2003). These issues have implications well beyond Maya archaeology (Dobres and Robb, 2000; Flannery, 1999; Hill and Gunn, 1977; Johnson, 2000; Klein, 2001; Marcus, 1998b; Plunket and Uru˜nuela, 1998, 2000; Saitta, 1994). Although maize was certainly a major staple and source of calories, recent work (Powis et al., 1999; van der Merwe et al., 2000) has underscored the diet breadth of the ancient Maya. Variety was particularly notable during the Preclassic and Postclassic periods—times when populations in many regions were lower or more dispersed than during the Classic, or when game and fish were more abundant and access to multiple environmental zones easier. The topic of nutrition leads naturally to stature, a topic of interest since Steggerda’s pioneering work (Steggerda, 1932) on the modern Maya and Haviland’s research on the Classic Maya (Haviland, 1967). In the case of the Tikal population, Haviland found a statistically significant decrease in height of almost 10 cm between Early Classic and Late Classic males. For the Altar de Sacrificios population, Saul (1972, p. 29, Table 3) observed a “major decline” in stature after the Preclassic “most readily seen in the male data.” M´arquez Morf´ın (1984), who examined 15 skeletal populations from the northern lowlands, also reported a decrease in mean stature from Preclassic to Classic times, particularly in males (M´arquez Morf´ın and del Angel,´ 1997). In a new and wide-ranging study, Danforth (1999, pp. 108–109) has shown that the mean height for all prehistoric Maya men (regardless of time period) was 160.1 cm; for women, it was 147.8 cm. When these figures are compared to those collected by Steggerda (1941, p. 153), we see that modern Yucatec are about 5 cm shorter than prehistoric Maya. Part of this “decrease,” however, could be a by-product of having so many high-status males in the prehistoric database, while there are so many low-status men in the modern sample. Indeed, Danforth points out that the mean stature values for the modern Maya are almost identical P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

100 Marcus

to those of “nontomb” burials at Late Classic Tikal. To understand these stature data, we need to determine (1) whether the major decrease in stature noted by earlier researchers occurred mainly between the Preclassic and Early Classic, or between the Early and Late Classic; (2) whether such decreases occurred at every site, or were more evident at capitals than at subordinate sites; (3) whether elites more often achieved maximal stature than commoners, owing to greater access to protein sources like deer; and (4) whether class endogamy helped elites remain taller than commoners. I raise these issues because scholars have probably un- deremphasized the range of factors operating on stature, particularly some of the social and economic variables; too often, stature among the Maya is seen only in terms of nutrition versus malnutrition. Danforth notes this overemphasis when she concludes, “that ‘the Maya got short’ during the collapse has been given far more emphasis than is warranted according to analysis of the available data.” Given that some models for the ninth-century Maya collapse rely on stature decrease as evidence for malnutrition and disease, the multiplicity of variables involved will have to be rethought; for example, Demarest (1997) and Fash (2001, p. 175) give more weight to sociopolitical factors. Probably we need a much larger sample of burials to assess stature; when all suitable Preclassic to Postclassic skeletons were compiled by Danforth, it totaled only 293 males and 77 females. A promising new line of evidence has been the study of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in bone collagen, which seem to reflect diet. The fact that elite skeletons have a greater range of carbon isotope values has been used to suggest that the elite diet at Copan was more varied than that of commoners (Whittington and Reed, 1997a, p. 160). Such results complement ethnobotanical studies by Lentz (1991), who concluded that the Copan elite had access to a greater variety of plants. Combining ethnobotanical results with isotopic results can shed more light on the diet of individuals as well as groups (elite vs. nonelite). Another potential contribution of biology and biochemistry to Maya archae- ology lies in the aforementioned efforts to identify the regions of origin for various individuals through their tooth enamel phosphate. The underlying premise is that since dental enamel forms during childhood, the oxygen isotope ratio of its phos- phate can be tied to the groundwater of the region where that individual resided during youth. In one example of this kind of analysis, we can look at the efforts of White et al. (2000) to determine if the individuals buried in the Mound A and B tombs at Kaminaljuy´u were actual Teotihuacanos or just local Maya emulating Teotihuacan styles. The authors analyzed enamel phosphate for oxygen isotope ratios in the first molars (which form before 3 years) and third molars (which form before 12 years). This analysis revealed that none of the principal occupants of the tombs in Mound A were born outside of Kaminaljuy´u. Because of differences between his first and third molars, one individual (Skeleton 1 in Tomb A-V), although regarded as having been born in Kaminaljuy´u, might possibly have spent his teenage years in Teotihuacan before returning to Kaminaljuy´u. Strontium isotope ratios suggest P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Recent Advances in Maya Archaeology 101

that three other individuals at Kaminaljuy´u were probably foreign to that site, but native to other Maya cities (Vald´es and Wright, 2003). While we once thought we could learn only about royal individuals (e.g., from the hieroglyphic texts they commissioned), we are now beginning to learn a bit about individual commoners through bone chemistry. One day, when our sample sizes are larger, and we are sure what the accumulating results of isotopic, trace element, and DNA analyses mean, we may even be able to determine a commoner’s diet, region of birth, and partial life history (Ambrose and Katzenberg, 2000; Merriwether et al., 1997; White, 1999; Whittington and Reed, 1997b).

THE STRUCTURE OF THE CLASSIC MAYA STATE

Complex systems like states and empires feature multiple hierarchies of ad- ministrators and decision makers (Algaze, 1993; Feinman and Marcus, 1998; Spencer and Redmond, 2001a). Hereditary social classes were often crosscut by institutions called “estates,” which drew on both nobles and commoners. For ex- ample, the religious estate might include high priests drawn from noble families, and religious assistants who were trained commoners. The military estate might include noble generals and leading commoner footsoldiers. With every position in such a hierarchy went a title. The number of positions and titles could vary from capital to secondary center, and from one province to another. Over time, as state bureaucracies grew in response to arising problems, they often created new posts. In nonliterate states, it is very difficult for archaeol- ogists to determine all of the latter. In societies like Sumer, Egypt, or the Maya, gradual differentiation and specialization of roles can be detected in the ancient writing systems; we see a proliferation of titles.

The Proliferation of Titles and Offices

In the early Egyptian state, the hereditary pharaoh was aided by an individual called a vizier. By the time of the fifteenth dynasty, the office of treasurer tem- porarily supplanted the vizier’s as the second most important. By the eighteenth dynasty, the vizier was reestablished as second in command, but now there were two individuals with the title of vizier, one of whom administered Upper Egypt and the other Lower Egypt. The late Egyptian state was divided into districts called hesps, 22 in Upper Egypt and 20 in Lower Egypt, each headed by an ad- ministrator whose job it was to collect harvests and taxes and to organize corv´ee labor. The Egyptian data show that the number of individuals who bore a title like “overseer” could vary over time. Furthermore, even when certain titles remained unchanged for centuries, there is evidence that the duties assigned to it could P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

102 Marcus

change periodically. In other words, as the Egyptian government evolved, new titles were created and old titles had their associated duties and ranks altered. The Maya state was no different. Titles varied across space and time, pro- liferating as the state evolved (Bricker, 1986; Freidel et al., 1993; Houston and Stuart, 2001; Lacadena, 1996; Marcus, 1992b, 1993; Martin and Grube, 2000; P´erez Su´arez, 2000; Schele and Freidel, 1990; Schele and Mathews, 1998). Even when similar titles were used in different regions at widely separated points in time, there are hints that the scope of the job was different, and the rank of the individual with a given title was changing. In fact, we have evidence that certain titles were restricted to some regions and that some titles did not make their appearance until the Late Classic. At the top of the Classic Maya hierarchy was the ruler, generally called the ajaw (“lord”) or k’uhul ajaw (“divine lord”), who resided in a capital city. In some capitals, such as Tikal, the ruler was also called the kaloomte’ or ochk’in kaloomte.’ Arrayed around the capitals and major cities were satellite cities and towns, administered by sublords. In some areas, such as the Usumacinta, these sublords were called sajalob, but in other areas that term was never used. Within the category of sublords there was internal ranking as well, with some individuals designated “head sublord” or b’aah sajal. There were also Classic Maya terms for occupations, such as itz’aat, “arti- san”; uxul, “stonecutter”; b’aah uxul, “head stonecutter”; aj bich’ul, “sculptor” or “polisher”; aj tz’ib, “scribe”; and aj k’uhun, aj k’uhul hu’n, and aj k’uhuun, terms variously interpreted as “he of the holy books,” “keeper of the paper/headbands,” or “he who worships” (Boot, 1999; Coe and van Stone, 2001; Jackson and Stuart, 2001; Lacadena, 1996; Lacadena Garc´ıa-Gallo and Ciudad Ruiz, 1998; Montgomery, 2002, pp. 201–212; Schele and Freidel, 1990; Schele and Mathews, 1998, pp. 28, 111–112). With further progress in deciphering Classic texts, we may one day be able to demonstrate with greater accuracy both the number and kinds of specialized personnel in different Maya states. Although the work of the last decade has shown a lack of uniformity in the use of titles through time and space, this very diversity of titles has reinforced other lines of evidence showing that the Maya had a well-developed administrative hierarchy. Writing, an elite prerogative, was flexible enough to serve as both a tool and by-product of the state (Marcus, 1992b).

The Maya State: Centralized or Decentralized?

The 1990s featured at least one well-known debate in which Mayanists took one of two opposing positions: (1) the Maya had “bureaucratic (or unitary) states with centralized organization of people and activities” or (2) the Maya had “de- centralized segmentary [sic] states in which ritual integrated fairly autonomous P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Recent Advances in Maya Archaeology 103

kinship groups” (Fox et al., 1996, pp. 797–799). Chase and Chase (1996) used Classic Caracol to show that the Maya had centralized states. Fox and Cook (1996) used Postclassic Quich´e polities to show that the Maya had decentralized states. The whole premise of this dichotomy requires comment. First of all, while there is nothing wrong with the term “decentralized,” the expression “segmentary state” is now considered an oxymoron (Claessen, 1992). The scholar who first used it has already conceded that the societies he applied it to were acephalous tribes, not states (Southall, 1991). Chiefdoms and states, by definition, are nonsegmentary societies (Carneiro, 1981, 1998, 2000; Cohen, 1981; Marcus and Feinman, 1998; Spencer, 1967). Second, the dichotomy implies an “either/or” scenario that fails to take into ac- count dynamic cycling over time. Caracol was a lowland Classic polity; the Quich´e were highland Postclassic polities. The spatial and temporal differences are signif- icant. I have previously argued (Marcus, 1992a, 1993) that one can see long-term oscillations during which Maya polities became strongly centralized, then broke down into their formerly autonomous provinces. During the Classic, there were a number of very large centralized Maya states. Virtually all of them had broken down by the Terminal Classic. Indeed, what is most typical of the Postclassic Maya highlands are polities like the cacicazgos of the Postclassic Mexican highlands. There is some question whether cacicazgos should be considered “states” at all, since they usually have only a three-level administrative hierarchy. However, since their rulers continued to call themselves “kings” and were often treated as such, it is probably appropriate to call their polities “petty kingdoms.” We run into trouble whenever we try to characterize the entire Maya region, over the whole of the Classic and Postclassic periods, as either “centralized” or “decentralized.” There were times when centralized and decentralized polities coexisted, and times when centralized polities broke down. The same caveats we have leveled at the notion of “segmentary” states can be leveled at the notion that states were run by “kin relations.” By definition, archaic states were not run this way. They were governed by a hereditary elite consisting of a royal family, major nobles, and minor nobles who received their authority by right of birth. Only at the level of the village, the fourth and lowest tier of the hierarchy, did the kind of kin organization seen in prestate societies continue. Such kinship operated at the level of the household, the residential ward, perhaps even the individual village. But any society that operates only on this level cannot be considered a state. As Chase and Chase (1996, p. 810) emphasize, “the Classic- period Maya maintained large, centralized, differentiated, and integrated polities based on far more than kinship and the ideological role of kings.” In other words, Maya political organization was uniform neither in time nor in space. Throughout the Classic we see a mix of strongly centralized and weakly centralized states, perhaps even with some paramount chiefdoms around the mar- gins. Under the right conditions, centralization could wax or wane (Demarest, P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

1996). These dynamic sociopolitical oscillations can be documented in a number of ways today, overturning our formerly static view that the only major shift was a ninth-century collapse. Much of the dynamism in the system originated at the level of the secondary centers below the capital, whose sublords often sought to secede, achieving auton- omy and eventually establishing their own subordinate centers through conquest and alliance. As we have seen already, some secondary states were probably cre- ated by princes from preexisting primary states who, for one reason or another, could not expect to ascend to the throne of their native polity. This process could continue in third- and fourth-generation states. Mounting evidence shows that throughout the Maya region, different decades featured different centers jockeying for position (Iannone, 2002; Marcus, 1993, 1995b). We first learned this from hieroglyphic texts at Calakmul, Caracol, Copan, Dos Pilas, Palenque, Tikal, Seibal, and Tonina, among others. Now other lines of evidence are confirming this process, for example in Classic period households and graves (Chase, 1997, 1998; Chase and Chase, 2000b; Gonlin, 1994; Hendon, 1997; Iannone and Connell, 2003; Kievit, 1994; Laporte and Iglesias Ponce de Le´on, 1999; Robin, 1999; Sheets, 1998, 2000; Webster et al., 1997; Woodward, 2000; Yaeger, 2000, 2002).

THE NINTH-CENTURY COLLAPSE: NATURAL DISASTER OR POLITICAL STRIFE?

In the ninth century A.D., a number of major cities throughout the lowlands were abandoned. The evidence for this phenomenon has been synthesized on sev- eral occasions (Culbert, 1973; Hosler et al., 1977; Lowe, 1985; Sabloff, 1992; Sharer, 1977), but two divergent views have emerged. One view is that a gen- eral collapse broadly co-occurred in the northern and southern lowlands (e.g., Andrews et al., in press); another is that a pan-lowland collapse did not occur (e.g. Chase, 1985, 1986, 1990; Pendergast 1985, 1986, 1990; Rice et al., in press). The most recent synthesis of the collapse is that of Webster (2002). His version implicates three principal factors: (1) a worsening relationship of Maya popula- tions to their agricultural (and other natural) resources, (2) the destabilizing effects of warfare and elite competition, and (3) a rejection of the ideology and institu- tion of kingship (Webster, 2002, p. 328). These, he argued, exacerbated a series of secondary stresses including drought, peasant unrest, and disease; driving the whole process was the population/resource equation as propounded by Malthus (1970). Natural catastrophes, such as prolonged droughts, are thought by some (Gill, 2000; Gunn, 2000; Gunn et al., 2002; Hodell et al., 1995, 2001; Robichaux, 2000) to have played important roles in site abandonments or cessation of monumental P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

building in the sixth and ninth centuries, but even some of these proponents have emphasized that the evidence for drought varies considerably across the north- ern and southern lowlands (Yaeger and Hodell, 2002). Other archaeologists favor sociopolitical explanations for the same abandonments and upheavals, noting that the natural environment is so heterogeneous, the subsistence technologies em- ployed in different areas so diverse, and the precollapse skeletal populations so lacking in evidence of malnutrition, that natural catastrophes seem an unlikely explanation (Demarest, 1997, 2001; Wright, 1997a,b). As for the destabilizing effects of warfare, mounting evidence suggests that it may indeed have been a factor on repeated occasions throughout Maya history (Trejo, 2000). One example can be found in the Petexbatun research by Van- derbilt University. It appears that ongoing warfare forced Dos Pilas to construct fortifications rapidly, only to be defeated by A.D. 761. Another Petexbatun center, Aguateca—although able to hold out longer because it was situated in a naturally defensible location—also shows evidence of rapid abandonment (Inomata, 1997). A third site, Punta de Chimino, had three moats and a massive wall system that allowed it to hold out still longer. While each site fortified itself and held out as long as it could, by c. A.D. 900 the area was largely abandoned. Of great interest is the fact that the process of collapse in the Petexbatun area took perhaps 140 years, and those Maya populations who stayed tried to cope with all the stresses. To be sure, under these conditions, any kind of drought would have found its effects magnified. Ultimately, even “powerful cities” like Tikal and Calakmul fell. Cowgill (1988, p. 266) has suggested that the longevity of individual Mesoamerican states may have something to do with whether they were put together originally by “sub- jugation” or “incorporation,” with those created by subjugation being more fragile. Large-scale asymmetrical and inegalitarian structures were evidently less stable than commonly assumed (Marcus, 1989, p. 206, 1998a, pp. 93–94), even though many scholars treat such large-scale structures as durable. Furthermore, warfare seems to be implicated in too many of these cases to be ignored (Dahlin, 2000; Marcus, 1992a,b; Spencer and Redmond, 2001a,b). While the ninth-century collapse has received the most attention, there are many other cases of individual site abandonments that remain to be explained. Why, for example, was El Mirador—seemingly at its peak in the Late Preclassic— abandoned so soon afterwards? Perhaps what fascinates us most is not the collapse itself, but the inability of the Maya to recover in so many cases, leaving some of their biggest cities never to be populated again. Throughout the history of Maya civilization there were also significant gaps in stelae carving or monumental construction that seem to be site specific. Often, one site’s demise seems to have led to another site’s rise. Calakmul rose when El Mirador declined, and Caracol and Calakmul often seem to have benefited when Tikal suffered defeat in battle (Chase and Chase, 2000c). During the hiatus in P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

monument carving at Tikal from A.D. 557 to 692, Caracol—only 76 km distant— was vibrant and flourishing (Chase and Chase, 2000a, p. 61). By the Late Classic, many Maya capitals were surrounded by hexagonal lat- tices of subordinate centers, so regularly spaced that the sociopolitical system may have been “hypercoherent.” This term, originally used by the late Roy Rappaport (1969), refers to a system so thoroughly integrated that a perturbation in one area can be rapidly transmitted to other parts of the system. If war in one part of the system served as a perturbation, it could eventually amplify the effects of drought in some other part of the system. What we lack is the ability to differentiate among various perturbations, in order to determine their proximate and ultimate causes. For example, as warfare has now been documented throughout the entire Preclassic/Classic Maya sequence, what was so much worse about warfare from A.D. 700 to 900? Some might say that the scale, intensity, and frequency of warfare had increased; that Maya populations were higher than ever before; and that the effects of droughts were therefore more profound. Perhaps future work will show that several such perturbations traveled rapidly through a hypercoherent system, reinforcing each other sufficiently to topple capitals and depopulate regions.

The Aftermath

The Petexbatun region saw one last flurry of construction at ninth-century Seibal, but then seems to have been largely abandoned. Other regions, however, especially those situated near cenotes, rivers, lagoons, and the ocean, became thriving centers during the Terminal Classic and Postclassic (Masson, 1999, 2000; Pendergast, 1986; Rice et al., 1998). Isla Cerritos, Ecab, El Meco, San Miguel on Canc´un, San Gervasio on Cozumel, Xcaret, Xelha, Tulum, Muyil, Santa Rita Corozal, Ambergris Cay, Tayasal, and Tipu come to mind (see Fig. 8; Andrews, 1993, 1998; Gallareta Negr´on, 1998; Peraza Lope, 1999a). Wurster et al. (2000) have recently contributed a case study in just such a setting—Topoxte Island in Lake Yaxha, Guatemala. The site there has been the object of major excavations, revealing that the island was abandoned at the end of the Terminal Classic and reoccupied around A.D. 1100. Late Postclassic resettlement at Topoxte was truly impressive; what seems to be missing on the island is a vibrant Early Postclassic. We do not yet know why, in so many parts of the lowland Maya region, the Early Postclassic seems to be missing. It is possible that the Terminal Classic lasted longer in some areas than we think, and/or that the Late Postclassic began earlier. In the northern lowlands, the Puuc region witnessed impressive Terminal Classic development. Recent research is throwing new light on the Early Classic foundations for this Puuc florescence and establishing the ecological and sociopo- litical stresses that led to its demise, including the role of Chichen Itza (e.g., Anderson, 1998; Carmean and Sabloff, 1996; Dunning, 1992; Gallareta Negr´on P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Some key sites are shown here (redrawn from Andrews, 1993, Fig. 1). P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

Chichen Itza also has been the focus of new exca- vations (Schmidt, 1994, 1999). Recent work has reopened the question of whether Chichen was indeed the recipient of Toltec influence, and reassessed the rela- tionship of Chichen to the Puuc sites. Schmidt (1998, p. 444), the director of a highly praised “proyecto especial” at Chichen, regards the nature and chronology of Chichen/Toltec interaction as far from clear-cut: “both in Yucatan as well as in Hidalgo there are important details of absolute and relative chronology remaining to be resolved. ...the chronology of Chich´en Itz´a and its relationship with events in the Puuc region are also subject to revision.” He believes that “Chich´en’s expan- sion indeed led to the destruction of Puuc culture.” Significantly, at the very time that Chichen Itza is alleged to show “Toltec influence,” highland Mexican centers like Cacaxtla and Xochicalco are alleged to show “Maya influence.” Mayapan took over from Chichen, and when it collapsed in A.D. 1450 (Peraza Lope, 1999b), there was a major demographic shift to the east. More than 100 Postclassic sites have so far been located on the Caribbean coast and islands of the YucatanPeninsula. As Gonz´alez de la Mata and Andrews (1998, p. 459) emphasize, “the area of the central [Caribbean] coast was the most densely populated: the distribution of the vestiges of constructions is so continuous that it is difficult to determine where one site ends and another begins.” There are hints that some populations from the interior of the Yucatan Peninsula migrated to its eastern coastline to take advantage of new emphases on marine resources and long-distance trade. Such activities link the whole area from Veracruz to Honduras and beyond. Postclassic ports on the west side of the peninsula included Xicalango, Tixchel, and Champot´on, and on the east coast were Xcaret, Xelha, and Tulum. More southerly sites such as Ichpaatun, Santa Rita Corozal, Lamanai, Tipu, and Punta Placencia also seem to have been part of a coastal trade network. These Postclassic sites were not investing nearly as much labor in monumentality as had their Classic forebears. As Andrews (1993, p. 58) has noted, “The down-sized temples and mass-produced ceramics may be less aesthetic, but they also represented less of a drain on the resources of the society.” Finally, in A.D. 1697 the lowland Maya of Pet´en Itz´a, whose nobles claimed descent from the rulers of Chich´en Itz´a, were conquered by the Spaniards (Jones, 1998). In the Maya highlands, the Postclassic also has been the object of important recent research (e.g., Arnauld, 1993, 1996, 1997; Braswell, 1996a,b; Breton, 1993; Fauvet-Berthelot et al., 1996), but we still need much more as so many Maya archaeologists continue to focus on the lowlands.

FUTURE PROSPECTS: 2002–2022

Maya archaeology has made enormous strides during recent decades. Bio- logical anthropology, with its isotopic, trace element, and “life history” analyses, is outlining differences in diet and health between elites and commoners, men and P1: IZO Journal of Archaeological Research [jar] pp742-jare-459122 March 22, 2003 14:4 Style file version Nov 28th, 2002

women. Bioarchaeology is also starting to document the movement of individual “actors” from region to region, providing new lines of evidence on intersite mar- riage alliance and political usurpation. Studies of skeletal trauma and defensive earthworks document the role of warfare in the creation and dissolution of Maya states, laying to rest the notion of the Maya as a “peaceful theocracy.” Increasingly detailed translations of hieroglyphic texts allow us to see the triumphs and defeats of individual rulers, as well as showing us that rival cities had different versions of historic events. Most of these advances, however, are focused on the data-rich period from A.D. 300 to 900; so far, we lack comparable insight into the Preclassic and Post- classic. The long period of chiefly cycling prior to state formation, as well as the early and abortive attempts at unification that may have preceded the El Mirador, Tikal, and Calakmul states, all took place before there were extensive hieroglyphic texts. The breakdown of the great Classic states and the formation of Postclassic kingdoms also took place without leaving us many of the most useful lines of evidence. Only when we get to the period of direct contact with the Spaniards do we have the necessary historic detail (Gasco et al., 1997; Jones, 1998; Kepecs, 1997a,b; Leventhal et al., 2001; Millet C´amara et al., 1993; Pendergast, 1993, Pendergast et al., 1993; Simmons, 1995; Yaeger et al., 2002). Clearly, we will have to refine traditional archaeological techniques to bring periods like the Late Preclassic and Protoclassic into sharper focus. Retrospective texts that refer to earlier, somewhat legendary elite “agents” are enticing, but not enough. We must figure out how to derive finer chronologies for periods with no dated monuments and from sites that lack dated monuments. We must recover more Preceramic and Preclassic skeletons, to compare their diets to those recon- structed for later elite and commoners. We must get bigger samples of the houses, features, and burials that serve to document not only the early escalation of status, but also the setbacks that accompany chiefly cycling. We must refine the chronolo- gies of the Maya highlands, the northern lowlands, and the southern lowlands to determine whether events in all three regions are more entwined than we formerly thought. Our surveys must recover both macroevolutionary changes, such as increases or decreases in the regional tiers of the administrative hierarchy, and microevo- lutionary changes, such as those affecting individual households when a village was incorporated into, or released by, a state. We need to know how subjuga- tion or autonomy affected the size, labor, diet, and occupational specialization of households at every level of the hierarchy. We know a great deal about the period A.D. 300–900, but we cannot fully understand it until we know what preceded and followed it. In doing this review, I was surprised to discover that it would require a 700- entry bibliography. I now suspect that, given the pace of current research, future overviews will need 1000 entries. If anyone had had any doubt that Maya archae- ology has become a huge field unto itself, he or she should know better now.
